Works Every T
ime’ finds the band in their prime – open\, honest\, and full of real tang
ible emotion but counterbalancing those feelings with musically fun songs.
The single is infectious\, with dark cool sounds layered with zingy guita
r work and Parkford’s love-torn lyrical confessions. Although arguably a p
op hit\, Mini Mansions do not shy away from the melancholic toe-tapping gr
it that is their staple. Of the EP’s title single\, Tyler elaborates\, “A
lot of these lyrics are playing with the cliché of a love song\,” he expla
ins. “This is our Mini Mansions cliché.”

Following on from their c
ritically acclaimed 2015 album ‘The Great Pretenders’\, which saw the band
tour with the likes of Tame Impala\, Arctic Monkeys and Royal Blood\, onl
y now are the LA trio ready to unmask themselves more than ever before. Mi
chael Shuman states on the new material “This is probably the most persona
l and vulnerable we’ve ever been.”\nThe recording of the Works Every
Time EP at Hollywood’s Barefoot Recording Studios was co-produced by the
band and Cian Riordan\, who worked with them on their prior record\, whils
t Jon Theodore (Queens of the Stone Age) and Darren Weiss (Papa) tracked t
he drums. Dash Hutton (HAIM) will be playing live with the band.
